SAD2012 #'s 1 & 2 (Jeff's Last Wishes & Backstage Lives)

Jeff's Last Wishes

I wrote about a backwoods hillbilly's video last will and testament. I was trying to write a scene that would hold attention with mostly a long monologue. I've been wanting to work with monologue scenes for a while to expand my joke writing. However the jokes in this scene come mostly from the quick changes on the video tape. Let's hope I stray a bit from stereotypes from now on.

Backstage Lives

I wrote about two women who are having a normal conversation between two mothers who aren't exactly "normal." I was thinking that I write a lot of scenes where male characters get the majority of the fun lines and funny premises. I also wanted to do a take on one of my favorite Monty Python Sketches where the two judges are discussing their day while taking off their robes to reveal they're in ladies underwear. I tried to write the dialogue as real a possible so that the reveal at the end is more fun.
